Putra	"Just as we thought, no one here..."
Vivienne	"We're maybe a bit too far out of town. Even if people are interested with the 'treasure hunt', I doubt people will just walk into a place like this..."
Nishikese Beauty	"Excuse me. Y'all don't look like yer from around here."
Putra	"Uh... there's one."
Vivienne	"Oui, sure did..."
Nishikese Beauty	"So sorry. I didn't mean to startle y'all. I was just wondering if maybe y'all were here came for a 'treasure hunt' too..."
Queensway	"Do you know anything about it, the 'treasure hunt'?"
Nishikese Beauty	"Of course I do. Us merchants have a strong intel network."
Queensway	"So then, are you looking for the treasure too?"
Nishikese Beauty	"No, not me. I'm on my way back from running some errands. Gotta get back to town before sundown, it's not safe."
Yuuzen	"I'm Yuuzen. Doll seller Yuuzen. I do business around this inn town."
Vivienne	"Doll seller? Are these Nishikese dolls?"
Yuuzen	"Yes, of course, they're Nishiki dolls. I've always loved Nishiki dolls since I was a little girl. Perhaps ya may be interested in Nishiki dolls?"
Vivienne	"YOU BET! I really interested in how exotic Nishikese culture is!"
Yuuzen	"Then how about this as a souvenir? If ya advertise it around Verforet, I can even knock the price down just for ya, alright?"
Vivienne	"Wow, the Nishikese doll is so beautiful! What do I... Should I go for it?"
Putra	"Vivienne, that's the biggest smile you've made today."
Yakutsk	"Bozhe, you have not an ounce of tension at all. What're you getting excited over a doll for? You're not a damn kid."
Yoshino	"Vivienne, you cannot."
Yakutsk	"See? even Yoshino is telling you no."
Yoshino	"Don't buy that doll. You should see what other options you have first."
Yakutsk	"?"
Vivienne	"This doll... You mean there's something wrong with her dolls?"
Yoshino	"Yuuzen, you're dolls are second-hand? They have previous owners, right?"
Yuuzen	"Eh, no, that's..."
Yuuzen	"They're, maybe first-and-a-half-hand? Barely used? They are uh, trendy, uh, the now, no complaint no return I think..."
Yoshino	"Yoshino won't be fooled. Your dolls are very pretty, but those were vintage dolls made ages ago."
Yoshino	"Yoshino does not suggest buying the doll. Vivienne, why don't look somewhere else before you decide? If we head back to town, we can choose more dolls."
Vivienne	"Y-you think so? But buying used isn't always bad..."
Yoshino	"Not necessarily no, but shouldn't buy some things."
Putra	"Huh, kinda unusual to see Yoshino so hardheaded."
Queensway	"She certainly is. I think Nishikese dolls are good souvenirs, not something you can find in other countries..."
Yuuzen	"W-well, some people are quite particular. I'm a merchant after all. I know that much."
Yuuzen	"But to make it clear, I wasn't trying to trick ya girls. Nobody said it was brand new and unused, right?"
Yuuzen	"I buy and sell second-hand goods. If yer little elf friend here said she would buy it, I would have explained that to her too."
Vivienne	"Well, um..."
Vivienne	"I'm sorry, Yuuzen. I really do think you have a great selection of dolls here, but I think I'll wait to make up my mind. Impulse purchases are never good, I'll check other shops first before I decide."
Yuuzen	"If ya say so, then I have no choice. I'm not trying to make ya buy my wares, so no worries. Looking forward to our next time then."
Yuuzen	"Well, I'll be off then. I hope ya enjoy the sights of our beautiful country Nishiki."
Putra	"There she goes..."
Yoshino	"......"
Vivienne	"Well, I know all too well that impulse buying is bad, and I've bought a lot of regrets, but she's doing her business too, understandable that she has to be proactive."
Vivienne	"But Yoshino, while I appreciate that you pointed out that they're second-hand, you could've said all that a bit nicer."
Yoshino	"Yeah, sorry... Yoshino wasn't saying that very nice either. Got a bit anxious and couldn't say no properly."
Vivienne	"Anxious? Anxious, anxious with what?"
Yoshino	"That doll, has a powerful curse cast on it."
Vivienne	"Curse?"
Putra	"The cursed Nishiki dolls... A tale that'll never not slip out of Nishikese ghost stories."
Yakutsk	"D-don't be stupid! Those are just a bunch of fiction to scare little kids!"
Yoshino	"There are various kinds of curses. There are curses that Yoshino can cast, then there are scary curses like the ones from ghost stories."
Yoshino	"The curse on that doll was a bad curse. Just having that one by your side will cause bad things to happen, and touching it will surely bring on the curse."
Yoshino	"That's why Yoshino is anxious. Sorry that Yoshino couldn't say it better. Was just trying hard not to mention about the curse..."
Vivienne	"I see... So you basically kept me safe."
Queensway	"But, wouldn't you have noticed it too, Miss Vivienne? I assumed that Miss Vivienne would be really sensitive when it comes to magical energy."
Yoshino	"If it had been just regular sorcery, Vivienne might have noticed quickly. But the curse on that doll is... no mere sorcery."
Yoshino	"It's a curse created from people's thoughts. Thoughts of sadness and loneliness are transformed into thoughts of hatred and envy. The power of a curse born in this way is different from mere magical power."
Yakutsk	"Well, in the business of collecting and selling second-hand goods, would it be weird at all that these things would get mixed up?"
Putra	"But then shouldn't we have told her about the curses? I'd feel bad if anything bad happened to Yuuzen."
Queensway	"I think so too. Miss Yoshino, so why didn't you say to Miss Yuuzen about the curse?"
Yoshino	"That Yuuzen person is able to deflect the curse powers of dolls. She's probably the safest hands for those dolls to be."
Yakutsk	"Deflect curse powers? Can a mere doll seller even do that?"
Yoshino	"Yoshino cannot say. But can tell that Yuuzen is very protective of those dolls. Maybe that's why those dolls love her so much."
Queensway	"Uh... You don't mean, the dolls can feel things?"
Yakutsk	"......"
Putra	"I got chills up my spine all of a sudden."
Queensway	"But some do say that inanimate objects have souls, and..."
Yakutsk	"Alright stop stop! Let's save the non-work related talk for another day shall we!?"
Putra	"It's okay to admit that you're scared."
Yakutsk	"H-haaah? Scared? Me? Ar-ar-are you stupid? There is no way a doll like that could scare me got it?"
Yakutsk	"It doesn't matter if it's a cursed doll or if it has a will. If Yoshino says it's okay, that's all that matters. Enough of this! Let's get back to work! That's all!"
Yoshino	"But dolls having a will... Is that a good thing? or a bad thing? The owner will some day be gone."
Yoshino	"And then the doll is all alone, unable to move or talk. That seems like a very sad existence..."
